MB Style and Silver Arrows Marine create 14-metre yacht
The 14-metre-long seagoing Granturismo combines design elements typical of Mercedes-Benz automobiles with innovations hitherto unknown in the boat industry.
The motor yacht is being developed and will be built by UK-registered boat-building company Silver Arrows Marine whose team includes world renowned marine architects Martin Francis and Tommaso Spa dolini, between them responsible for some of the most capable and luxurious craft in the world today. The ?Silver Arrow of the seas? is due to come on to the market in 2013.
?Giving shape to a boat was an exciting challenge for automotive designers like we are,? said Gorden Wagener, Head of Design Mercedes-Benz Cars, at the presentation of the yacht?s design in Monaco. ?Our task was to explore how to apply the Mercedes- Benz design language to the particular proportions and specific requirements of a boat. We wanted to create something special and what we have come up with is indeed unique. The ?Silver Arrow of the seas? embodies pure emotion and stands for luxury, style and pleasure.?
At 14 metres in length, the new yacht?s design makes it suitable for a wide range of uses. The innovative versatility and intelligent use of space are particularly impressive. While ideal for a day on the water with friends, the motor yacht can also offer overnight accommodation. The elegant and timeless interior appointments offer a level of comfort and luxury commensurate with the Mercedes-Benz name.
